This entry is a small thing we do to save money, but really these little things all add and up and that's what this blog is all about.
I bought these two large recycle bins at a yard sale 2 summers ago. I paid $5 each. I put my house number on each one. I use one for the plastic recyclables and one for the paper. After the first time using them my husband cut pieces of old plywood down to be tops. This avoids things blowing out of the bins.
I find one of these holds the equivalent of 2 blue bags. Tomorrow I would have used 4 blue bags, at the cost of 33 cents a bag each. $1.32 every two weeks saved works well for me! 4 bags every two weeks would be $35 a year. ON SOMETHING TO HOLD MY GARBAGE??????
We fill up about one kitchen liner every two weeks of garbage, and don't need black bags often. I used to stick the kitchen liner in a black bag then realized this is a waste both for the environment and our budget, so I just put it out at curb, and like magic it works. I did a quick google search, and they sell for $66 each at Staples and cyclinder ones at Walmart for $32. It helps save the environment as they are reusable.
